Event Description
Each year, state and local governments lose millions of dollars in tax revenue from false claims for Homestead Exemptions. These homeowner credits – also known as property exemptions or school tax relief – are designed to help homeowners in need, but too often they are abused. Perpetrators of fraud assume that tax authorities lack visibility into records within other agencies and across state lines and they file false claims – such as claims on homes that aren’t their primary residence, claims on homes that are owned by the deceased, or simply multiple claims for a single residence. The jurisdiction is cheated out of tax revenue, back-taxes, and penalties, while the law-abiding taxpayer unfairly bears the burden. This online event will feature an informative discussion on the latest technology being deployed to help government tax assessment, appraisal, and collection authorities to combat fraud and increase tax revenue for their jurisdiction.
